Can''t disagree with anything you have written here, which is a shame as i would like to be positive having had an extra hours sleep. The list of negatives is growing, all because our expectations were raised. Lambert & McNally managed to do that in a few short years. On the back of that i expected the board to go on that same journey of continuous improvement. For a short period AN survived and prospered on the tail end of what was built before so he clearly has something. However the board have clearly not improved, enjoying the success as if they were the major partner/reason, yet silent when issues surface as if to "blame the manager, team, fans, brexit, exchange rate etc" and all this going on so Chairman (lackov) Balls continues to further his own career whilst Rome starts to ignite. Obviously i do not blame the board for this winless streak, it would be ridiculous to blame this streak on one thing (the combination of issues raised by Iwan''s Big Toe listed a number of these) however they rode the wave of success but suddenly quiet now the issues are starting to surface. Don''t get me into transfer deadline day activities, perceptions etc!Do they think they can just fine dine at the top table and blame the serf''s, servants and staff for the troubled waters? or worse this is their pension for what limited working lives they (as we all) have left. No investment, not even looking to sell, content to sell the ground home & away and only spend what we receive. Great parochial view when the likes of a Lambert & McNally ride in, relieving the pressure on them, not so great when all around us are improving. As is the case, by doing nothing we move steadily backwards, just ask any decent (of which there are thousands just like us) Ipswich fan. So my main gripe is i''m afraid aimed at the board, a collection of local shopkeepers, regional businessmen, family members, failed politicians. The movers and shakers moved on, what''s left is ...............cue tumbleweed, hardly inspiring.Any wonder why we haven''t been sold? well, because they don''t want to, they are doing well out of it thank you.Again add this to the number of on-field issues and we have the beginnings of a bit of a problem brewing, it now takes bravery, forward thinking and acumen to takes us forward. I like AN but think he is becoming increasingly isolated and blamed, the board need to start showing leadership and direction and to show the fans exactly why they are there.
